Allergy

“Good morning Mr Pool. Please take a seat. Would you like to tell me a bit about your symptoms.”

“Over the past few years I seem to have become more and more allergic. My nose gets clogged up; my eyes are gritty; and I’m continually clearing my throat.”

“Those all sound like common allergic reactions. If you’d just like to bear one arm for me we’ll get some tests done. I’m going to place a range of substances on your forearm and we’ll see what happens.

While we’re waiting, can I have your other arm so I can take some blood samples. I’ll get those off to the lab straight away and we should hear back pretty soon.
